NOTE: I know I made a similar thread over a year ago, but this is an updated, longer version. A lot of things changed from the previous one. I honestly didn't give it much thought the last time!

After a couple of days with the idea on my mind, I finally decided to make a list of my favourite releases of the past decade to share here. I gotta say it was a pretty hard task because there were so many great albums released, but I took my time to choose carefully, I went through all my albums and I also checked those articles in Wikipedia that list almost every music release year by year to see if I was missing anything. My initial idea was to reunite 100 albums, but I reached about 70 and I couldn't think of any other that really interested me, and I didn't want to fill it up with stuff I just liked and not loved, so I ended up choosing 50 and then adding some honorable mentions. Some are classics (In Rainbows; The College Dropout; Elephant), some were critically acclaimed but not very popular (No Cities Left; How to Walk Away; ¿Como te Llama?), and some are just hated or at least really disliked by a lot of people (yes, I do like Bryan Adams and Panic at the Disco, and a Justin Timberlake album, and so what?!). These are 50 of my personal favourites and they are all just special to me. A lot of genres, a lot of artists. I like a little bit of everything, that's why this list is gonna seem a bit strange to some. They are a part of me and they remind me of great moments of the past decade, which I think was quite amazing in music. I'm also including separate lists of my favourite live albums, albums in spanish (my native language) and deluxe reissues which are so popular nowadays.

Oh, on a side note... of course, I'm not including any albums from 2010. But man, some of the albums released last year are better than a lot from this list put together!... like "Brothers" by the Black Keys, "This Is Happening" by LCD Soundsystem, "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire or "Songs from the Road" by Leonard Cohen. They're just mindblowing and better than most I'll mention below. I didn't want to include the first two Arcade Fire albums because I still have to listen to them more carefully.

Ok, enough words. Here are the lists:

TIE:1. Look Into the Eyeball - David Byrne1. How to Walk Away - Juliana Hatfield

I spent much of the last decade in a baby-induced stupor, but now that my babies are kids, I'll check out some of the music on your list. I'm right with you on Arcade Fire. Love The Suburbs and think I will grow to love Funeral eventually.

I have some nominations to help you get to 100.

Art popIllinois by Sufjan StevensKid A by RadioheadGravity Radio by Mikel RouseBonus Rarities and outtakes by Talking Heads

Singer/songwriterYou're the One by Paul SimonGrown Backwards by DB (ahem)

Country/folkHome by the Dixie Chickssoundtrack to "O Brother, Where Art Thou"

Children'sSnacktime by Barenaked Ladies

PunkCage the Elephant (self-titled)Entertainment by Gang of Four (remaster)

Grooving on Sound of Silver. Seems this band shamelessly rips off Talking Heads, not that there's anything wrong with that. Thanks again for the list.

I'd nominate the revival recording of Sondheim's Company, and the original Broadway cast recordings from Avenue Q and Spring Awakenin (underage German sex and death!) if you're into that kind of thing.
